produces 23 May 1971 (age 40)

If unknown, leave blank. The wikified placename and state of Australia should be included. If overseas-born, include the country of birth. Example:

Playing information

originalteam

The original team from which the player was recruited. This will usually be a junior or country football club. Do not include previous AFL clubs. State league teams should 'not be used unless no other information is available. Wikify if possible. Example:

| originalteam = Mandurah Junior Football Club

draftpick

The pick(s) used to select the player in the VFL/AFL draft, if applicable. The format should be as follows: pick aath overall in the [[''bbbb'' AFL Draft|''bbbb'' ''ccccccc'']], {{AFL dd}}; where aa stands for the draft pick, bbbb stands for the year of the draft (note: the rookie and pre-season drafts are described as occurring for the next season eg. the 2005 Rookie Draft occurred in 2004.), ccccccc stands for the type of draft (National, Rookie, pre-season, mid-season, pre-draft selection) and dd stands for the club selecting the player. Players drafted more than once should be listed more than once. Players selected under zoning should be described as a zone selection. Players selected as a priority pick or the father-son rule should be listed as such in small text. Example:
